The Duluth Natives were a short-lived semi-professional ice hockey team in Duluth, Minnesota. They were a member of the Central Hockey League for one season but suspended play after only nine games.[1]
After the Virginia Rockets ceased operations in 1932, the Duluth Natives were created in order to keep the league a 5-team circuit. Additionally, the league shifted from a purely amateur organization to a semi-professional one as a way to prevent the same situation from recurring. Duluth opened its inaugural season playing out of the Duluth Amphitheater, however, that presented a problem. The venue was already home to the Duluth Hornets and the competition between the two harmed both clubs.[2] While the Hornets were forced to move elsewhere in the middle of the season, the Natives were only able to play 9 games before being forced to withdraw from the league.
